Co-operators (Guelph, Ontario), a Canadian multi-line insurance and financial services organization, has implemented Guidewire PolicyCenter and Guidewire BillingCenter on Guidewire Cloud to power its policy administration, underwriting and billing functions, simplify its IT operations, adapt to changing market demands, and deliver more value to its distribution channels and policyholders, according to a joint statement.

Lisa Guglietti, EVP and COO, Property and Casualty Manufacturing, Co-operators.

A Guidewire (San Mateo, Calif.) customer since 2007, Co-operators migrated PolicyCenter and BillingCenter to Guidewire Cloud simultaneously for all of its property/casualty lines of business in the provinces where it operates. The company also extended its PolicyCenter instance on Guidewire Cloud to its subsidiary Sovereign Insurance. Co-operators is also currently working towards a migration of its self-managed Guidewire ClaimCenter environment onto Guidewire Cloud. At the conclusion of that project, the companies’ P&C Operations will be a full Guidewire InsuranceSuite customer on Guidewire Cloud.

“Guidewire Cloud offers a world of possibilities that we wanted to capitalize on to improve our functionality and efficiencies and support the capacity and capabilities of our workforce,” comments Lisa Guglietti, EVP and COO, Property and Casualty Manufacturing, Co-operators. “Guidewire Cloud innovations provide us with access to technology that will allow us to build better and faster, as well as adapt our systems to the impacts of an ever-changing, agile and modernizing industry.”
